Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, June 16, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. B52 crash, Newsom investigation, big Fox purchase and a zero to zero win. That's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, an Air Force B52 bomber crashed shortly after takeoff at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The crash happened at 11:20am Pacific Time. The Air Force and NASA conduct test flights of new and developmental aircraft at Edwards Air force base. The B52, which typically carries a crew of five, is a long range bomber capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear weapons over a very long distance and has been used in conflicts from Vietnam to today. There are 76 B52s remaining in the Air Force inventory. Speaking of California, Gavin Newsom, the governor says Trump's Justice Department is investigating him and his wife. Aides to Gavin Newsom say several people associated with the couple have been contacted by federal agents in just the past week. It's unclear what this is about, but the focus seems to be Newsom's wife. The New York Times quoted someone familiar with the investigation who said this is actually not politically motivated, but they had been initiated by federal law enforcement officials in California, not launched by officials in Washington. Newsom said that Donald Trump isn't just coming after me because of my mean tweets. He's coming after me because I am considering running for president. And to get me, he's coming after my wife. Again. We don't know exactly what this is about, but in California for a long time, there have been rumors of, let's say, conflicts of interests with Gavin Newsom's wife's NGOs. Fox has bought the streaming company Roku for $25 billion. Fox also owns Tubi. So now Fox is the third largest company in US television by share of viewing audience. Roku controls 3% of all streaming viewership in the United states, but they're fifth behind YouTube, Netflix, Disney and Prime Video. Some World cup news. The big game of the day yesterday, the big upset, one of the best teams in the world World cup veterans Spain versus World cup rookies Cape Verde. And Cape Verde won zero to zero. It's technically a tie, but it's Cape Verde for them. That's as good as they ever could have imagined. Their goalie had seven saves. For the record, Cape Verde is a chain of islands off the coast of Africa where they have a population of 500,000 people, which is about the size of Fresno, California. I won't always do World cup updates, but this is just to get excited for the big game on Friday, America versus Australia in Seattle, 3 o' clock Eastern.

Time now for the O'Reilly update message of the Day. On this Tuesday, it seems everybody is involved with the Knicks winning the NBA championship. This is what is called front running and Americans are excellent at it. I knew the Fonz had jumped the Shark. Happy days cliche when Taylor Swift showed up to cheer on the Knickerbockers. With much respect to Ms. Taylor, who showed Mandami how capitalism really works, what the deuce was she doing giggling and hopping around in the front row? Spike Lee ordered a double cup of Pepto Bismol. We all know President Trump zipped into Madison Square Garden to discuss an NBA franchise in Tehran with Knicks owner Jim Dolan. And Barack Obama praised the Knicks in his speech as well. No word from Joe Biden, who really isn't doing much these days other than following Jill around asking, who do you love the most? Jill may have replied, the Knicks. We just don't know. Anyway, even many New York haters get on the Knick train, which is absolutely something to see. Next up, the Mets. Nah, I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billo reilly.com billorilly.com Name in town if you wish to opine. Frank John Lamaro, Fleetwood, N.Y. what happens if the Iranians break the rules of the deal, which depends who's president. So military action that could happen if the Iranians don't live up to the treaty. All bunch of things that could happen. But you don't go into a treaty saying, well, if they don't do what the treaty said, you have to have a plan B and Trump does military. Eric is a concierge member.

War takes time. Did anyone think this Iran war was going to be over in a week? Crazy. Trump is not in danger of a Crisis. I'm not Maga. But he's always 10 steps ahead of everybody. Well, Eric, look, your point of view is your point of view, but it's not based on polling. Can't be, because in polling he is in trouble. But if this deal comes through, you'll see his polling numbers surge. Mark Davies, Pattaya, Thailand. I understood that America doesn't negotiate with terrorists. So that's true. Why are we negotiating with Iranian leadership? Because it's individual terrorists we don't negotiate with. If it's a terrorist state, sometimes you have to. And it's one of those times. You just can't go in and kill every human being that's living in Iran in a moment. Something you might not know

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. Sixteen years ago today, the remote nation of Bhutan became the first country on Earth to ban the sale of tobacco. The resulting headlines renewed attention for one of the planet's most isolated places. Here is the story behind the Himalayan kingdom. Nestled in the highest mountain range on Earth, Bhutan is one of the few places in Asia that was never occupied by a foreign power. First inhabited by an ancient sect of Buddhists in the 8th century, the nation was formally established in 1616. Tibetan monks ran the place until the early 20th century when a powerful warlord declared himself king. Bhutan was ruled by absolute monarchs until 2006, when the ruler announced democratic elections would be held in 24 months. Today, Bhutan is a constitutional monarchy, with the king as the head of state and an elected prime minister acting as head of the government. And here's something else you might not know. Bhutan's unique location in history make it one of the most fascinating places on the planet. Here are some facts. Bhutan is the only carbon negative country in the world. Because of its large forests and low level of industry, the nation absorbs three times the amount of carbon dioxide it produces. Bhutan has exactly zero traffic lights. All roads are moderated by police officers. The capital city has just 15 stop signs. Finally, if you plan on taking a trek to Bhutan, get ready for a rough landing. The international airport is considered a death trap by many experienced pilots. The landing strip sits on a 20,000 foot peak with limited visibility because of its dangerous location. Fewer than 20 people are certified to land commercial jets in Bhutan. Back in a moment.
